That's be confusing, I'm a bit against it. It generates a
lot of bug mail :(

I have personally found bugzilla lacking in terms of being
able to large-scale bug management. Note that the various
Firefox teams have all built their own tools that pull data
from Bugzilla but don't use it directly.

<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://mozilla.github.com/devtools/status/index.html#news"><http://mozilla.github.com/devtools/status/index.html#news></a>
is the foremost example in my mind. There's also
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/orangefactor/"><http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/orangefactor/></a>, but that's
solving a moderately different issue.

Would <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/">http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/</a> be a useful example,
too?

nifty!<br>

I also must say that I have already encountered users who recently
updated from Thunderbird 3 to current and remarked how "ugly" it had
become - a sentiment I partly would agree to (although I might
prefer using the term <i>"bland"</i>). I immediately advised Theme
installation for remedy.<br>
<br>
In summary I think some UI improvements (such as monochrome icons or
crippling large icons) aren't strictly necessary if they are based
around a certain aesthetic mindset; they also have the disadvantage
of taking away some of the individuality of this application, and
not always to the benefit of the users; 'nuff said.<br>
